Floods: Kuantan-Karak stretch of East Coast Expressway remains closed

The East Coast Expressway (LPT) on both bounds between Kuantan and Karak remains closed to all vehicles due to a flooded 800-metre stretch at Km126, according to highway concessionaire Anih Berhad.

It said that though the weather was fine, the flow of water in the area was fast and dangerous for all types of vehicles.

Anih Berhad advised road users to postpone their journeys.

"However, the stretch (of the LPT) between Gombak and Bentong is unaffected and is open to all vehicles," it said.

The statement said road users could obtain latest information on the status of the highway from the Public Works Department flood operations room or via Twitter at @lpttrafik.
